Venice: After-Hours St. Mark’s & Doge's Palace Tour

Discover St. Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace in Venice on an exclusive after-hours guided tour. Enjoy the peace and tranquility of exploring these iconic landmarks without the crowds and noise of the daytime.

Meet your guide at St. Mark’s Square for this special after-hours visit to St. Mark’s Basilica. With thrilling anecdotes and swashbuckling stories, discover the fascinating history of Venice and St. Mark’s.

Enjoy exclusive access as the custodian unlocks the Basilica’s doors for you to enter. Inside, experience St. Mark’s Basilica as almost no one else has ever been able to, aside from the doge himself. Avoid standing elbow-to-elbow with other tourists and the noise of the crowds.

In tranquility and peace, visit areas that are usually off-limits during the day. See the crypt where the bones of St. Mark are said to be kept, and the walls stained by the past floods that devastated Venice. Admire the illuminated mosaics as they glimmer and sparkle in the dark.

If you choose the Doge's Palace option, enter the Palace just as it closes for the day to learn more about the center of power during the Venetian Republic. Visit the opulent apartments of the Venetian rulers and the Hall of the Great Council with its stunning frescoes by Veronese and Tintoretto.
